  • What if Product hunt didn't exist?

    I see many non-exceptional platforms that never launched on PH but still managed to successfully find a good place in their competitive market. On the other hand, I also know some platforms that didn't do well in their PH launch (very few upvotes, comments, etc.), but they are now well-known in their segment. Do you guys have any idea about how they managed to do so, is there any other way to have the chance to promote a product strongly?

    interesting points of discussion! while PH is very helpful and has a very supportive community, it should not mean that when a launch is "unsuccessful" then the product is bad or will not perform well in the open market!

    @ikiok I agree with you Giannis. However, I just cannot figure out how they'll manage to 'perform well', like what are their marketing strategies.

    @hosseinyazdi well, there are lots of guides and blog posts describing the successful launch for many products. I would say that the key points are community engagement (like what we are doing here) and a strong Hunter!
